Ep 329 - Hit Your Target. Take Friday Off!

Ep 329 - Hit Your Target. Take Friday Off!16 aug13 min

What if your best incentive wasn’t more money, but more time?

In today’s ep, I sit down with Zakary Nash, Co-Founder and Director of HarperLloyd Recruitment, to unpack one of the most interesting incentives I’ve come across in recruitment.

Hit your quarterly target, and you earn Fridays off for the entire next quarter.

It sounds simple, but the psychology behind it is fascinating.

Zakary shares:

👉 Why HarperLloyd introduced the four-day incentive

👉 How consultants are using their Fridays differently

👉 Why time can be a more powerful motivator than commission

👉 What happened to performance once Fridays became something worth earning

👉 How the incentive is helping people create more space for family, travel and life outside recruitment

For me, this is a great example of thinking differently about what actually motivates people.
